Invisible Ink, the radio show I contribute to, has been invited to run a pledge drive this afternoon. I know as a listener, public radio pledge drives are downright annoying but actually, it's quite an honor to be a brand new show and have the station run a drive during your program. It means they think its got a strong, loyal audience and is worth keeping around.

So should you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and listen to Invisible Ink (and I know you do), please consider joining KALW which produces an ungodly amount of quality local programming on a budget a fraction the size of, er, that other public radio station. I think by pledge there's a nifty 'Ink T-Shirt in it for you too.

Won't you?
